Home, Décor: Home Renovation Etiquette

Renovating a home is an exciting endeavor, especially a luxury home where the team has the space and freedom to think creatively. Here are some valuable tips for demonstrating proper neighbor etiquette during a home renovation.

Communicate in Advance

Before embarking on a home renovation project, inform the neighbors of any plans. Always share important details, like the scope of the project, estimated start and completion dates, and any disruptions they can expect. Open and clear communication can manage expectations, reduce unwelcome surprises, and minimize the potential for hurt feelings.

Share Your Contact Information

Provide the neighbors with your contact information to open a line of communication. Share your phone number or email address so they can reach out if they have concerns or issues related to the renovation. Being available demonstrates a commitment to addressing inconveniences that may arise during the renovation.

Renovate During Appropriate Hours

Respectful timing is another important factor in showing proper neighbor etiquette during a home renovation. Restrict noisy and disruptive work to daylight hours, typically between eight o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening on weekdays. Avoid working early in the mornings, late in the evenings, or for long hours on weekends to keep the neighbors happy. This level of consideration demonstrates an understanding of the need for a peaceful neighborhood.

Prioritize Safety Measures

Safety should always be a top priority during a home renovation. Ensure the construction crew secures the job site to prevent accidents or injuries to passersby. Encourage the workers to clear all pathways, secure their materials, and post warning signs where necessary to maintain a safe environment for everyone.

Rent a Dumpster

Waste disposal is an often overlooked but essential tip for renovating historic homes. Instead of piling debris on the curb or tossing it in the yard, consider renting a dumpster. Dumpster rentals provide a convenient container to hold construction waste during the project. They can also maintain the aesthetic appeal of your neighborhood while minimizing inconvenience to the surrounding neighbors.
